About Me

I have always wanted to install a hot tub on my back patio, but I put the project off for many years. Why would I do that? Well, the one thing that was putting the brakes on the tub was that I didn't have the 220 electrical outlet that a hot tub requires, --and I never had time to research much about it. After hurting my back at work, I decided that it was time to stop putting off the hot tub and to go ahead and get one and have it installed. I hired an electrician to install the outlet and a few lights around the deck. This blog will show you what it takes to add the outlet you need and the fixtures to make night-time enjoyment even greater.
